Hasbro is currently working to launch a new live action movie universe – starting with Transformers – that will include all of their action figure toy lines popular back in the 1980s. What’s so difficult about this is that most of these toy lines have never crossed over before. So to start sowing the seeds of a shared universe, Hasbro has teamed up with comic book publisher IDW to launch a Hasbro comic book universe that includes Transformers, G.I. Joe, ROM the Space Knight, M.A.S.K., Action Man, Visionaries and Micronauts. Not only is that a tall ask of IDW, it’s somewhat confusing combining that many strikingly different concepts into one story. To kick off this new Hasbro universe, IDW has written a new storyline called “Revolution”, which runs through all of their Hasbro comic books.

To commemorate this massive undertaking by IDW, Hasbro is releasing the San Diego Comic-Con 2017 Exclusive Revolution Comic Crossover Mega Set that includes characters from all seven toy lines! This limited edition comic book inspired set includes The Transformers’ Jetfire, G.I. Joe’s Roadblock, M.A.S.K.’s Matt Trakker, Action Man, ROM the Space Knight, Visionaries’ Leoric, and a bunch of Micronauts. This set also includes villains like a Dire Wraith and even some evil Micronauts.

Hasbro’s San Diego Comic-Con 2017 Exclusive Revolution Comic Book Crossover Action Figure Box Set will retail for $99.99 at the Hasbro Toy Store SDCC booth. Any remaining sets will be made available at HasbroToyShop.com after the convention.
